Yeah cash and checks haven't been replaced by mobile banking or mobile payments. Credit and debit card use took over the payment market with digital wallet exploding in the last few years. Electronic transfers took over paying bills with paper checks. None of those need a smartphone or other personal computing.

Is Oracle's headcount mostly sales? Not exactly tech industry decimation.


Sales are probably the last job to go in the ai job apocalypse.

But they are still a tech company. So it is likely that this will also affect tech workers.


Well to an extent, it does work. Flood the zone.


The same customers as grok. In the future where humanoid robots see some level deployment, there might be some people that need their robot to make CSAM and say the n-word.


I'm guessing that other developed countries don't need 6-7 figure injury coverage.


That's great, but it's no silver bullet. We have a 4th Gen iPad that was used mostly for consumption. Only one of the streaming apps works with its ios version.


The same issues plague old Android tablets. Lots of unecessary ewaste out there so OEM's can sell new devices.


There are a lot of Android devices that look temping until one discovers how out-of-date the firmware is.

With no option to install your own, of course. Boot loaders should be exclusively for running the manufacturer's lone security update from 5 years ago.


Gemini only replaced Google assistant on Android a few weeks ago. I gave up on Google assistant a few years ago, but I'd guess it wasn't a worthwhile upgrade from Siri.


Still using Google assistant after trying Gemini on my pixel about 6 months ago. It was not an assistant replacement, it couldn't even perform basic operations on my phone, it would just say something like, "I'm sorry, I'm just an LLM and I can't send text messages." Has that changed?


Tesla, Rivian and a few others are tech companies that make cars. They have great software and integration between components. Traditional automakers are assemblers of modules made by dozens of suppliers. That's why Teslas navigation accounts for traffic, weather, elevation changes, charger speed & availability to plan routes. For legacy car manufactures battery preconditioning is about the most sophisticated route planning feature they'll have.

Would be more convincing if my legacy car maker car didn’t do all these things you claim only a Tesla can.


Also not an expert, it would have to be EMI or maybe the bright light was causing LEDs on the nearby laptop to generate voltage. LEDs can poorly work in reverse.


Roomba has been obsolete for 10 years. Competitors have eaten their lunch in every segment.
